A hands-on guide for using the MMPI-3 when assessing suitability and fitness for duty of public safety personnel
Factors unique to police and public safety candidate selection require adjustments to standard guidelines when interpreting MMPI-3 scores. David M. Corey and Yossef S. Ben-Porath's latest work broadly focuses on use of the MMPI-3 in both prehire suitability evaluations and posthire fitness-for-duty evaluations of individuals in public safety occupations.
This practical guide was written for clinicians who conduct evaluations of incumbent public safety personnel as well as candidates for law enforcement, correctional, firefighter/medic, or emergency dispatcher positions. The chapters are devoted to foundational and practical knowledge required for conducting these evaluations, including a concise primer on the MMPI-3, common procedural and legal requirements, and contextual factors affecting evaluations. The book also provides case illustrations that demonstrate use of integrative models in preemployment and fitness-for-duty evaluations and includes expanded coverage of the updated MMPI-3 Police Candidate Interpretive Report as well as the newly released Correctional Candidate Interpretive Report, Dispatcher Candidate Interpretive Report, and Firefighter Candidate Interpretive Report.
